About This Project

The Ingleside project presents a modern interpretation of a 1920s shingle-style home, expertly designed to capture the essence of classic architecture while utilizing contemporary materials and techniques. Located in Grand Rapids, MI, this residence showcases a striking facade enhanced by a composite slate roof that not only mimics the traditional look but also offers durability and lower maintenance. The exterior is further characterized by cement fiberboard shake siding and color-clad windows, which blend seamlessly to create a timeless aesthetic without the drawbacks of original materials. Upon entering, guests are greeted by elegant mahogany entries framed by natural stone, leading into a thoughtfully designed interior that emphasizes craftsmanship and detail. The innovative soffit materials provide an eco-friendly alternative to wood, reflecting a commitment to sustainability. Inside, the attention to detail is evident throughout, from the attic level's board and batten walls and scenic overlook to the mahogany-railed staircase that serves as a stunning focal point. The library is a highlight of the home, featuring expansive windows that invite natural light, a tile-faced fireplace that adds warmth, and a striking exposed beam ceiling that enhances the room's character. This inviting space is accessed through arch-top glass doors that connect it to the great room, creating an open and airy flow. The kitchen offers a modern touch with custom cabinetry, built-in appliances discreetly concealed behind furniture panels, and glass-faced sideboards that provide both functionality and elegance. Every aspect of the Ingleside project embodies the spirit of skilled craftsmanship, reflecting the standards established by the artisans of the past. The meticulous attention to detail throughout the home not only honors traditional design principles but also ensures a comfortable, stylish living environment that meets the demands of contemporary life. The result is a harmonious blend of classic and modern, creating a unique residence that stands as a testament to thoughtful design and quality construction.
